This extension creates scenes based upon the settings produced by the Weather extension for ease of use with Atmospheric Effects's scene mechanism. The number of scenes created by Weather Effects is enough for the game not to fit in the Z-Machine, so this extension is Glulx only. Updated to work with 5T18.

Room Description Control allows the author to choose items in a room to conceal from description. It also allows him to arrange the order in which objects are described and manage the form that description takes. Note that Room Description Control is only a framework and will require the author to provide a set of writing a paragraph about rules. See Single Paragraph Description, Ordinary Room Description, and Tailored Room Description for options. (Updated for 5T18.)
